The Father of Instant Noodles: Imprisoned Twice, Bankrupt Three Times, at 48 He Created Instant Noodles That Changed the World—With Only One Secret!
In 1957, 47-year-old Momofuku Ando, penniless, built a small shed in his backyard to develop instant noodles, sleeping less than four hours a day and accumulating mountains of failed attempts. After 1958, his life skyrocketed: at 48, he created the world's first instant noodles; at 61, he developed the Cup Noodles that conquered America; at 94, he made space ramen for astronauts. Before 48, he had been framed and imprisoned twice and had lost everything in financial ventures.
